The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's

Very interesting alternate takes on the second of the 2 vinyl albums. And they sound great---some are raw and unprocessed as many of the vocals were on the final version. The pressing is a bit noisy on the early part of side 1 on my copy (crunching out of the left channel in quite a few spots), but, unlike my usual practice, I did not put this through my Audiodesk cleaner prior to play. I have not yet listened to the remastered Sgt Peppers but I bet I'm going to find it to be, at the very least, an interesting alternative.

OK. Now the remixed album. Vocals more prominent and more centered on all songs. Bass slightly amped up (or I believe, more precisely, untrimmed) and better defined. Instrumentation sounds less brittle in parts on the remix. I no longer automatically buy anything "Beatles" (and passed on the stereo box set from hi res files). But the mono box set is an easy recommendation. This is not quite as necessary--but it is TOTALLY COOL and therefore I am not at all sorry for the purchase and will be listening to this set well into the future as perhaps a different but equal sonic version of the wonderland that is SGT Peppers.
